Understanding how commissions are calculated helps sellers price their items accurately and anticipate final earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Percentage-Based Commission<\/strong><br>In many cases, commission is calculated as a percentage of the final sale price. For example, if the commission rate is 5% and an item sells for 1,000 CHF, the commission would be 50 CHF. The remaining amount is paid to the seller after fees are deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Fixed Fee Commission<\/strong><br>Some categories may use a fixed commission amount instead of a percentage. This means the same fee applies regardless of the final selling price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Category-Based Rates<\/strong><br>Commission rates may vary depending on the category. High-value categories such as vehicles or real estate may have different structures compared to electronics or general goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Promotional or Subscription Impact<\/strong><br>If you use premium features, featured listings, or a seller subscription plan, commission structures may differ or be reduced depending on your package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. When Commission Is Charged<\/strong><br>Commission is typically charged only after a successful transaction. If no sale occurs, no commission applies (unless separate listing or promotion fees were selected).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before listing an item, review the applicable commission structure for your category. Factoring commission into your pricing ensures transparency and helps you accurately calculate your net earnings.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[115],"manual_kb_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2971","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-fee-structure-and-payments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2972,"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/2971\/revisions\/2972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=2971"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/help.markto.ch\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=2971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
